Cameron Diaz is using humour to cope with her father's sudden death.The 35-year-old actress, who stars alongside Ashton Kutcher in new romantic comedy ?What Happens in Vegas', held a private screening of the movie to "have a good laugh" with her grieving friends and family following the loss of Emilio Diaz on April 15.Cameron said in a hand-written note read out by Ashton in Los Angeles on Saturday (26.04.08): "Due to the loss of my father I have chosen to be with my family this weekend. But it was important for me to convey to all of you how much I love this film. "I was fortunate to work with a group of truly gifted individuals that share the common denominator of a generous heart and wickedly sick sense of humor."This weekend I am screening ?What Happens in Vegas' for my family. It was a unanimous decision that we all needed to share a good laugh. After all that's why we make films like these. So people can leave behind their worries for a couple of hours. Have a good laugh. I picture all of your smiles and it makes me happy."Thank you for your continued support. It is much appreciated. Cameron."Emilio passed away after a bout of flu developed into pneumonia. He was just 58 years old.
